Yesterday we visited a travel agent to pay for our trip to Beijing. While we waited for her we took a look at some travel brochures. One of them had a long list the hotel rates if you visited a particular city. In the making of the brochure someone had left out a vowel.
It looked like this:
Hotel Rats
Summer 60 Winter 32
I'm not sure if the rats are migratory rats or they just spend the winter months somewhere else in the hotel.
The travel agent invited us for tea which turned out to be coffee and brownies ala mode. We enjoyed her company and also a new restaurant.
Using Skype to talk to our family has been great. After talking to our brothers earlier this week we decided it would nice to call some friends of ours who live in Seattle. Oops, forgot about the difference in time. It's never good to receive a call at 5:00 AM is it? They were gracious about our error, (okay, it was really Steve's mistake), and relieved that the call wasn't bad news. It's sometimes difficult to remember that we're twelve to fifteen hours ahead of the USA. About the time we've got it figured out we'll be headed for home ... isn't that the way of life?
